The Mint Festival Pageant went off without a hitch, according to committee member Teresa Trout. She said 22 girls and two boys competed in the pageant, which lasted about an hour and drew a crowd of nearly 150 people to the North Judson-San Pierre High School auditorium.
North Judson Mint Festival Pageant to Be Held Friday
The North Judson Mint Festival pageant is just one day away and Festival Committee Member Teresa Trout said the pageant will feature at least 20 contestants, possibly more. She said the committee is still waiting to receive applications and fundraiser money from six girls, despite the fact that these items were due May 31.
Trout said last year’s pageant queen has been working closely with the committee and held a class on May 18 at the library in North Judson, offering contestants the chance to learn what to expect at the pageant, how to put on their makeup, how to walk, what they should wear, and how they should talk to help them have a better overall pageant experience.
Sign-up Dates Approaching for Mint Fest Pageant
